Friday, August 5th

Jill’s sure that Vikki and Billy will end up together – and if they encounter a jump in the road, Jill will remove it (send it back to its’ husband) When Summer arrives, Jill immediately spots the ring – are you engaged!? Yes, Summer stammers. See? Some people are destined to be together, Jill gloats on her way out.

Luca’s grovelling in Victor’s office – hoping they can bury the hatchet. Victor scoffs – why would I do that? Because Summer’s agreed to be my wife (well, that wipes the smile off Victor’s mug)

Adam isn’t impressed to hear that Dylan’s still investigating or that Chloe’s living with his wife and son – the ultimate revenge.

Mariah finds Chloe taking her creative angst out on a mannequin – and blathers on about Kevin; he’s great right – funny, smart, kind. You know him better than anybody. Why aren’t you tow together? We’re just friends. He’s your …. rubber ducky? Is that right? Chloe’s busy pinning fabric as Mariah blathers on about true love.

Luca loves Summer so much – she takes my breath away. I promise to make her happy – honour her. Is Victor in shock or sizing Luca for cement shoes? Nick’s out of town but told him to do right by Summer – he’ll honour that advice. No, he doesn’t want a job out as a wedding package. Good, Victor no longer hires family members. I hope you and Summer will be happy – one more thing, if you hurt her, you will have ME to answer to.

At Jabot, Summer’s thrilled with her Mom’s reaction. But Phyllis has to ask if the pregnancy scare pushed them into marriage. Luca’s good for me, Summer lists all his charms. What more could you and Dad want?

Vikki will never drunk run again. And is it really a good idea to run Brash n Sassy together? Billy thinks it is. Jill’s delighted when she finds the pair getting along well. Have you thought about my offer? Vikki gives Billy stink eye.





Summer second guessed Luca – then confronted him – but he was honest with me. Yes, about being dishonest. Phyllis admits he’s an ambitious young man. He chose me – he doesn’t care about Newman anymore. Phyllis tells Summer not to rush – I know what it’s like to want someone. But that doesn’t mean you should be with them.

You got me drunk, Vikki whines to Jill. She and Billy discussed collaborating on Brash n Sassy. You prefer to be waiting in the wings for Victor to concede the throne? Jill scoffs. Vikki then tells Jill that she wants to come back to Brash n Sassy. Jill’s thrilled. Please don’t do that to me ever again, Vikki says as she leaves Billy eager to get a couple of things straight with Jill too.

Chloe’s all about the now. Mariah goes on about Kevin; she’s never seen ‘the face’ he makes when talking about Chloe. Open your eyes – you and Bella need Kevin in your lives. Chloe can’t – she won’t – it’s too painful.

Chelsea wants Adam back home with her and Connor (who wants to see his Daddy on his birthday next week) Refusing, Adam gets up guard!

So you poured rum down Vikki’s throat and pushed her my way? Her coming back to Brash n Sassy is just business. Stop the stunts and let us run the company. Vikki and I aren’t getting back together. True love conquers all, Jill says – even an idiot who can’t see what’s right in front of his face.

Vikki’s in Victor’s office to tender her resignation. Yes, she’s accepting Jill’s offer. Victor already gave Vikki his blessing – you’re a consummate professional. Yes, Vikki worked harder than anyone else at NE. A most capable executive, Victor agrees. But I’m not Adam, Vikki leaves in tears (and Victor looks pretty sad too)

Back at CL’s, Kevin thanks Mariah for helping him – my name didn’t come up at all? No, Mariah didn’t get the chance – we don’t want to be obvious.

At the studio, Chelsea tells Chloe that her visit with Adam didn’t go well at all. He practically threw me out. Chloe hoped her forgiving Adam would give him some peace. Chelsea hoped so too – but won’t let Adam shut her out.

The guard gives Adam good news – there’s a break in your case.
